Bartlett Pond, on Route 117, Lancaster, is undergoing a major transformation.

With the dam not meeting state regulations, work began to remove the dam.

Restoration specialist Alexander Hackman, of the state Division of Ecological Restoration, said the area will be a more natural wetlands area. Hackman said people will have to wait to see what path the river will end up taking through the area.

A ribbon cutting of Bartlett Pond will be held on June 24, at 1:30 p.m., to mark the end of the work.
